I have no idea why, but I catch more bass with pumpkin pepper green color and dark colors on bottom fished baits and white and chartreuse on top water and suspended baits. I thought maybe it was because the bass are looking down at the bottom baits and up above them for suspended and top water baits. Interesting video! Happy fishing 🎣

I’ve noticed in my local pond that Texas rigged white trick worms absolutely crushes. From my experience I think it just contrasts more from the vegetation on the bottom, whereas for example green pumpkin looks camouflaged in the water. I think white might be one of the most underrated colors out there, it just straight up works. I’ve started replacing some of my green pumpkin with brighter lures cuz it puts in the work!

When I'm on home waters and it's a slow day, but I know the place holds fish at that time, I almost try to hide from the fish. The fish know you're there, usually. A little fleck maybe, but camouflaged basically. Green pumpkin, browns, whatever blends in.
@GoingMod
@GoingMod 4 месяца назад
I think color/contrast matter as visibility is based on conditions thus the most visible nature color would be ideal but at the same time too over fished areas usually call for changing it up an more unnatural colors and way to fish. haha once again "it depends on conditions". I really apricate how you pose questions and display facts about what you find. This sparks lots of testing when I fish personally. Thanks as always Steve!

We were at a lake recently fishing spawners. They were up in the trees that had a good spawning bottom. Visibility was about 6 to 8 feet. Wind was light and full sun. Largemouths were hammering Yamamoto Goby colored weightless wacky worm. Got 1 on a 3/8oz PB&J football jig with a Big TRD PB&J as a trailer. We tried white other stuff - Big TRD, lil TRD, various white minnow imitators on a drop shot. All got ignored. Crappie and bluegill in the lake. Hitch also and they were spawning.

On tough days when the bass are being very picky, I switch from green pumpkin pepper to a bottom bait with red flakes or a Berkley tequila sunrises power worm. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but when it does it will totally change you day 🎣

When I watch the Japanese anglers, they tend to go brighter/high contrast colors. Their waters are pretty clear and of course highly pressure. So maybe they're on something? Which they tend to be.

@BassHead1322 Год назад
I believe bass are opportunistic feeders. If you can see it from a longer distance you can attract more attention. There also competitive so interest in more than one might cause one to bite. We’ve all seen bass following a bass we have on a hook

If there are no bites changes are warranted! With a senko there are a couple of small things that can help get bit. To a baby bass colored senko a small splash of black can on the tail makes the senko look like a small bass. You can rub the senko it will dull the colors where it can make it look injured. Add a small glass rattle.

So I've mostly fish rivers for smallmouth and white is the color for dark tannin to muddy water. When its clear it doesnt seem to do as good as natural colored baits. But I've recently started fishing a clear resivour more often for large mouth. I havent dailed it in yet as far as colors, but im starting to notice white seems to do better in the clear lake for large mouth than it does in clear rivers for smallmouth.

I feel visibility is critical for bass to be able to locate the bait, without a doubt. However, a lethargic bass may not be interested in swimming over to a lure, even if they can see it easily. We still need to consider their mood.

@LowBrowFishing

I have a feeling you already know where I stand on this. I rarely "match the hatch". I feel that in pressured waters especially, we need to stand out from the background. Today, for example, I was fishing water with 4-5 feet of visibility with a light green stain and using a plum/black color. I caught several in that 2 pound range pretty quickly and they choked it. No doubter bites for sure. But when I switched over to green pumpkin, all I could muster was a couple of weak bites from one dink and a bluegill. Those fish just wouldn't commit. My fishery is exceptionally pressured but the area I fish I generally have all to myself because I don't think a lot of guys like to flip hydrilla or skip under flooded brush. Ugh...I'll stop before I write a novel in your comment section. But suffice to say, I could talk about this topic for hours, lol!

I'm convinced bass vision is drastically different from ours. I think they have what I call a pixelated or fuzzy view of objects. It's nature's tradeoff. They can see better in low light and cloudy water but they don't see things in clear focus as we do. To me, it explains why baits like the yamatanuki or scat seem to work better than more realistic baits. At least at times. I suspect you're on to something regarding contrast. Anything that fits the fuzzy silhouette of bait gets their attention. Contrast probably enhances their ability to pick it up in their field of vision. I also think they use their lateral line to hone in on something. But at some point they have to see it to bite it. Finally I think bass are extremely opportunistic. Sometimes we describe that as curious and maybe they are. Either way, a bright color would seem to encourage that instinct to probe and inspect.

A lot of the shad that bass eat are lighter colored on their bottom side and darker on their top side. So many when bass are looking up they see the brighter side and when looking down they see the darker side. 🤷‍♂️

I am with you Steve, I was terrified to throw what I call loud colors for largemouth. I also hear say 50% of pros say keep it simple on colors. Those that keep it simple do it for confidence maybe or they cover more water in my mind. Then on my little lake it took me years to figure out good colors. I even hired a bait painter from Soddy Daisy Tenn. My home lake has green dye in it to keep algae down. I never been skunked in a boat on this lake but over years discovered a color I normally would not use and bam. I took that principle into soft plastics and tend to prevail. I too prefer natural but it is unreal to me that color can make difference. So glad for your videos and asking our opinion.

Much like you I tend to shy away from the chartreuse and whites. The only time I usually use a solid white color is bed fishing where I can tell if the bass has it or not. Maybe I should incorporate this more into my fishing. Here lately I've been experimenting more with shad patterns but that's the scale pattern with silvers blacks violets and blues. Ya know like shad do in the sun when you take them.out of water. I guess it's time to get some white. My wife's gonna dislike you cause I'm saying Steve told me to hun. Lol. Great video.

Funny you should post this, as I have been gravitating toward lighter colored lures, as of late, for this very reason. I remember a video (and I'm certain it was yours) where stickbaits were tested for visibility under different water conditions. They key takeaway for ME was how much the white lure stuck out, even over the black one. Now, my goto for several years now, has been smaller paddletail swimbaits. I ALWAYS make sure I have a supply of white ones, on hand. And, recently, when post rain conditions still had the local river looking dirty, unless it had chartreuse on it, or was white, it wasn't getting bit. When I ran out of my favorite TRD color, Coppertreuse, I had to resort to picking up a larger lure, the paddletail, mostly because I had a stock of them in white, and I new I could count on that "glow" to cut through the stain. And, as I had hoped, it didn't disappoint.

Another great video, thanks! I find myself sticking to my confidence colors most of the time, ckear water natural colors, stained to muddy darker colors, especially with soft plastics, confidence is critical. However I've had great success with bright pink, orange, white many times on super clear water smallmouth. On pre spawn smallmouth really shallow, not just bedding smallmouth. Something about a bright color that gets them riled up. One of the benefits of using the bright color in a stick bait, fluke or even a floating Rapala is that I will fish it much slower with less action or manipulation because I can see it, and I like the way it looks. Its like watching a bobber and waiting for it to disappear.....lol. Best suited for target fishing submerged visible wood or docks often for me. I needed the reminder to mix up the bright colors more often!

@@erniebrightfishing yes. White, pearlescent white, chartreuse. It depends on the light level and water clarity. The "glow" Steve talked about really is "a thing". Edit: Don't forget black can also be high contrast. It just doesn't "glow".

@@questor_xl I've heard of it before. But if I'm being honest I shy away from whites and charts. Unless it's a trailer for like a swim jig or spinnerbait etc. I tend to do what everyone else does and stick to g.p. brown blacks etc. Natural as possible. But my idiot mind not thinking white is natural too. But I only utilize it for bed fishing or trailers. I'll re-examine my approach now. Thanks man for your input.

Hey, Steve, pray you are well and it is great to see ya. I usually use darker colors cause my water is chocolate milk. Still raining and lightening every day. 😂. Be safe

Thanks! You too. I haven’t fished water that dirty for some time, but I plan on spending way more time on rivers this year so I’m sure it coming.

I've caught more fish on a chartreuse curly tail grub than all other lures combined. It has never failed to pull in fish for me.

The curly tail is a tremendous lure that I often think a lot of anglers forget about. Thank you for sharing this.

Imo, profile and action is far more important than color. I think bass can sense our lures from a long way off through their lateral lines more than the sight of it. Had too many good days I’ve ran out of the “perfect color” on a certain bait, switched colors and the bite rate didn’t really change.

You know i dont have a all white worm in my tackle. I fish a lot of clear lakes down here in Central Georgia. I guess its because of the luck i have with darker colors than lighter colors. Maybe i need to pick up some white ones.

Hey Steve great content as always. Since you are asking for comment. I am not a biologist by any mean but been fishing and learning from all good fishing outlets like yours for years. I think when you have content related to bass vision , you focus too much on how our eyes see them. Bass has very different rods and cones in their eyes than humans. Bass also has a vision about 5 times better than us. That could mean they can see ultra low contrast , ultra low light etc. , which makes the experience we have with our own lens irrelevant !!!

Seems like the easier to see, the more likely to bite, but bass fishermen for 50 years telling us differently 🤷‍♂️

Color always seems like a lesser factor for me. Most of the time (on my water) it seems like color does not matter. I can throw greens, browns, blacks, purples and they eat them all. Technique and presentation seems to be the far greater factor in catching. For example, my fish will ignore spinnerbaits and chatterbaits all day long, but can't get enough of the drop shot, no matter what color I throw.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this. That drop shot is crazy good. Can’t believe it took me so long to learn it years ago. Felt like I was the last one on the planet to figure it out.
